Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty accused of cheating and fraud

Rajasthan Royals owner Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty have been charged of
cheating and fraud by Anand Singh. He is the same person who has previously
filed complaints against Bollywood actors Shahrukh Khan and Irrfan Khan for
smoking in public places. Anand in his complaint said that Shilpa and Raj cheated
him of Rs 8 lakh which they promised to pay him but later denied.

The city court has asked the complainant to depose before the court and get his
statements recorded in a complaint alleging fraud and cheating committed by
Shilpa and her husband Raj.

"When the complainant approached the owners and manager of RR for getting
his due amount of Rs 8.05 lakh, they kept on making false promises but later
refused to pay the assured amount and thus committed offence of cheating and
forgery with him," reads the complaint.

Anand in his statement said that in November 2012, Rajeev Khanna, manager of
Rajasthan Royals contacted him for organizing a talent hunt titled Cricket Star
Rajasthan, 2012 as he is running a private cricket academy named Jaipur Cricket
Academy. Shilpa assured
to pay Rs 250 per participant and accordingly he arranged 3,220 young
school-going players but till date he was not paid.

He alleges that owners of RR kept on giving false assurance and no written
agreement was ever made. However, the event was organized and an 18-year-old
boy from Pali named Kumar Boresa was declared winner of the talent hunt and he
was allowed to join as team member for the current IPL season.
